Contextual Overview
1 Of Moab, - Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts God of Israel, - Alas for Nebo, for it is laid waste, put to shame - captured, is Kiriathaim, put to shame is Misgab, and dismayed. 2 No more, is the praise of Moab, In Heshbon, have they devised against her, calamity, Come, and let us cut her off from being a nation, - Even thou, Madmen also, shalt be silenced, After thee, shall march the sword. 3 A voice of outcry, from Horonaim, - Wasting and great destruction! 4 Moab is broken: Her little ones, have caused to be heard an outcry. 5 For the ascent of Luhith, with weeping, one ascendeth - with weeping, - For in the descent of Horonaim, the distress of the outcry of destruction, have they heard: 6 Flee deliver your own lives, - Then shall the women be as a shrub in the desert. 7 For seeing thou hast trusted in thy works and in thy treasures, Thou too, shalt be captured, - Then shall Chemosh go forth into captivity, His priests and his princes together. 8 And the spoiler shall enter into every city, And not, a city, shall escape, Then shall perish the vale Then be destroyed the table-land, - As Yahweh hath said. 9 Give wing to Moab, For she must, fly away; And her cities To desolation, shall be turned, With no inhabitant therein. 10 Accursed be he that doeth the business of Yahweh carelessly; And, accursed be he that withholdeth his sword, from blood!

Gill's Notes on the Bible
A voice of crying [shall be] from Horonaim,.... Another city of Moab. The word is of the dual number; and, according to Kimchi and Ben Melech, there were two Horons, the upper and the lower; of this place :-; this also should be destroyed; and so a cry of the inhabitants of it should be heard out of it:
spoiling, and great destruction; because the city was spoiled, and a great destruction made in the inhabitants and riches of it.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Omit shall be. “Spoiling and great destruction,” literally breaking, is the cry heard from Horonaim Isaiah 15:5.
